Hi! I'm a Russian guy who is hopelessly in love with the Nordic countries and especially Finland. I moved there recently finally, to the smallish city of Vaasa on the west coast, and I would be glad to host any guests and to show them around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to meet new people, both those coming to Vaasa, and those possibly hosting me someday
